Mr I Can Do That For Half
I'll add a few things. I saw those big exspensive $600-800 aero setup and said screw it an built my own. I scaled it down from 32 site to a 28 site for more grow room per plant. Aero is amazing at 3-1 growth compared to soil.At 9 days all my clones are 9 inches and fat stocky green. Veg will be 2 weeks then 4-5 weeks flower then do it again.My home made version cost me about $165 with the pump and air stone setup. I run a 1000gph subermersible pump with sprayers on 24 hours. I have the pump in a filter bag and found that using powder nutes is a bad idea in aer setups as I clogged sprayers the 2 nd day and went out and bought better ones for 60 cents each and only use my Fox Farm liquid nutes now.My setup is in my gallery and my grow journel which is here

my vote goes to aero. its getting a constant supply of air and nutes .compared to the flood and drain hydro systems there is much less to worry about due to the simplicity of most aero set-ups.
as far as lighting i would go with either 400w HPS or hella CFLs. just depends on how much smace you have and how many plants at the time

Great thread. I'm doing first SoG grow.Question, can I go straight to flower with clones they should be large 8-9". Or best to get a few roots first then hit with flower nutes. When do I replenish nutes? Yea, I'm a total noob.
TIA
